One day last week, some train

One day last week, some train

loss of that mule, for he wasn't ours,
and besides that, his loss was our
I internal gain. Instead OF having the
carcass removed or buried, it was
permitted to lie where it fell until
the huzzards aud dogs, aided aud
assisted by the worms, disposed Of it,,
This required about weeks time,
ANA inasmuch as the defuuct carcass
of that dead mule fell and perishtd
and decom posed and rotted within
two hundrea yards of several dwell

Wrter-had to endure the horrible
stencil for all that time, we think il!
WAS an outrage that demands investi-
gatiau and redress. During the
daytime if was not SO bad, but as
,0ou ~ the shades of night had
draped the earth in solemn silence
and ghostly gloom the eftluvium from
that dead and decorupn~ing animuie
would get up on it's hind legs and
knock the very chickens off the roo-t
with it- forty carrion power. Stink :?
Well, we should murmur, with our
nose in one hand and fan in the
other Doors and windows had all
to be closed to shut out the horri5ie
stencil. aud the weather was so ter
ribIy hot that tue interior Of t.lr
house Was veritable sweat hoy.
But We had to grin aud endure il.
We couldn't move the house and
neither could we move that mule.
The Hon, Ned Coftnan, of color and
renOwu, had, only short time pre-
vious, deposited the carcass Of Il
deceased yeailing a short distance
from the spot where the mule fell.
and we We're just ahout getting over

know - there no Balm in Gileai thai

White Hat In Her Room.
HOW OXFORD GIRLS ORNAMENT THEIR sLRRPIN,

APARTMKNTs
In an article on the oxford ladies' colleges, q
member OF one OF them writes in Wonsans World:
EVERY girl at college has her own room, which,
with the aid OF screens and pretty hangfngs Is by
day converted into quite a charming sitting room
so successfully In many cases that visitors might
very wen go away with the impression that 1t Is
put TO no other use with regard to furni-
the rest is left TO individual means and taste and
indeed, so varously Is this exercised that survey
OF the rooms affords most amusing field for
gueSseS 10 the characters and pursuits OF their
respective inmates
One room was chiefly remarkable for the enor-
TO get into it. making 1t appear II she perpetual
ly Inhabited a conservatory. Two girls with
taste for natural history used to MI their rooms
with all kinds OF live pets, white rat and glow
worm being among the number but this nenagerte
met with small favor from their immediate neigh
bors, as may easily be imagined.
The chief ornament OF another room consisted In
o large collection OF fur rugs thrown over every
conceivable article OF furniture Some are 90 full
OF knick-knacks that II seems doubtful whether
their inmates can really have room TO do anything
serious, while few AFFECT q severe simplicity,
which they fondy imagine Is in keeping with lite.
rary and studous tastes. In every room may be
seen the inevitable tea-cups, and many are the
cheerful parties which assemble TO partake of the
beverage popularity supposed to be % dear to the
feminine mind.
Beside the private rooms there Is the library.
where magazines and papers are to be found,
where general notices are posted up, and where
many after-breakfast half-hOurS are spent-so
many, say, wasted-in talk. Then there Is the
dining room, the drawing room, sacred TO visitors

Beautiful for Six Months.
HOW THE OPERATION OF ENAMELLrNG WON ANS FACE
IS PERFORMED.

Describing the operation Of enamelling lady's
face, writer in Sanitary Science says: All the
materials for the operation being OF hand, the
operator begins to overlap the skin Of his patient
with skin Of hts own composing. He applies the
enamel to her face and then to her bust. This
enamel consists chiefly OF white lead or arsenic,
made into seml-li0uld paste. IL requires a
good deal OF skill 10 lay 1t on so that 1t shall be
smooth and not wrinkled, and two or three hours,
and sometimes much longer time, are consumed
In making good job OF 1t. This being done, there
head ana cheek gear
so down she sits again, and he, with his pig
ment OF Indian ink anu pencil OF camel-hair,
paints her eyebrows divinely. Then her cheeks
are inlaid with ''plumpers" which she brings
with her, and which cost her c5. They are made
into pads and composed OF q hard substance,
which combineStHariOuS chemical materials After
the cheeks are thus made to look like girls
cheek they are carmined with vegetable liquid
rouge, laid on with hare's foot. The male Of
the makeup Is the adjustment Of the teeth,
which, when properly set, give the mouth a luster
as OF Opals. The lady then goes away with a
chuckle OF deep satisfaction as she thinks Of the
cOnQuests she will make In the evening In the
glare Of the lamps, wax candles and gas. She has
q bust as white as alabaster, with shoulders and
arms to match, and warranted to ''standr for six
months.
Strange facts these, but such fantastic tricks
thank Heaven! are not at all common In England,
however they may obtain among the ladies' OF
America. At the same time, we fear that our
women are not wholly sans reproche in the
matter.
